Möbel Martin - Mainz, Germany

Retail furniture chain Möbel Martin and Co. has unveiled their newest and largest store with a 45,000 square meter showroom space. For the first time in the history of the family-owned enterprise, a professional lighting designer was included in the project team. The lighting concept by Tobias Link integrates all indoor and outdoor areas, and provides a low-maintenance and energy efficient solution. Located in the center of the store, the atrium is the focal point of the store’s architecture, serving as a main traffic junction and stage for special events and promotions. Made of gypsum board the entire ceiling sculpture is traced by LED Moving Heads, which are installed on the second floor, in high color temperature and alternating beam angles. Almost subconsciously, visitors recognize the dynamic effect, which reappears in imperceptible intervals and simulates passing clouds. Additional fixtures guide the customer through the sales floor via dynamic lighting. This unique lighting solution is controlled by an e:cue Butler XT and can be adjusted manually by a Glass Touch T6.
